Johann Jacob Brumbaugh arrived in the colonies on August 31, 1750 aboard the ship "The Nancy," with 50 pounds cash. Said to have been an orphan, Johann was originally a Luthern, until he joined the German Baptist denomination that his wife belonged to. He served in the French Indian War in the Braddock Campaign as a packman or hauler, because his religious beliefs forbid combat service.
